The chile St. Augustine is known for, and one of the few American peppers on Slow Food's Ark of Taste. Sweet and fruity up front with a tangy, habanero-class heat behind it. Whole dried pods, one ingredient. Rehydrate for hot sauces, relishes and glazes, or crush over anything that wants Florida heat.
Dry pan, about 30 seconds a side, until the kitchen smells good. If one goes black, toss it. It’ll taste bitter.
Cover them with hot water and leave them 20 minutes.
Then into the blender with the rest of your salsa or sauce.
NoteWant it milder? Scrape out the pale veins inside. That’s where the heat lives.
